Jeremiah 36:3-8
3It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
4Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yhwh, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
5And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of Yhwh:
6Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Yhwh in the ears of the people in Yhwh's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
7It may be they will present their supplication before Yhwh, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that Yhwh hath pronounced against this people.1
8And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yhwh in Yhwh's house.
